This is a six-line fingering chart; the leftmost line is string 6 (low E). × means the string is not played, ○ means open.

Transpose tool

Shift a whole progression by semitones; the result updates as you type.

D A Bm G

Results always use sharp spelling: an F lowered by two semitones reads D# (the same note as Eb).
